Louisiana State Police spokesman Master Trooper Brooks David says an excavator struck overhead lines on I-10, causing I-10 East and West between Louisiana Avenue and Breaux Bridge to be completely shut down.

DETOURS

Eastbound traffic is being rerouted onto Louisiana Ave to La 94 then on to LA 328 in Breaux Bridge before meeting back up with I-10.

Westbound traffic is being diverted onto LA 328 to LA 94 and then onto Louisiana Ave and back onto I-10 West.

Trooper David says there is no timetable for when that portion of the interstate will reopen.
